I may cry.


Truck been in the shop for three weeks for camphaser repair with the updated ones because of massive chattering. They did the replace, still chattering.

They are speaking about possible bad piston or some other madness. Is it possible to get a bad set of cam phasers from damn Ford? What else can be chattering like cam phasers and it not be cam phasers?

Anything is possible. Do you have an extended warranty? Tech also could have messed up.

Unless he has a warranty from MPT, it’s not going to help out: "MPT Stage 93"

Dude that sucks. When my cam phasers on my 19' went, they only chattered for a second on cold start ups. If it's chattering more than it's likely it's something else. Kinda silly the shop replaced the cam phasers if they didn't diagnose those as the problem.

How'd they determine piston? They scope it or just throwing shit at the wall with you paying the bill?

No new updates.

Well it had all the signs of cam phasers and the shop has done phasers before so I assume its all part of the program with them. I have since then looked up engine replacements. I found a shop who has refab 3.5 ecoboosts for $4800...

When they sell these refab or refurbished engines, are they good as NEW?

Who knows? You would think refurbed block with new pistons, rods bearings etc.

Would be nice to know the previous mileage on a rebuilt motor… I’d rather have a 50k rebuilt than a 200k rebuilt.

Post up a video. People here are probably better at diagnosing. That sucks though. Did they check the earl?
